4.0 out of 5 stars
Witty and cute--saved by supporting characters,
By A Customer
This review is from: Stage Door. (Paperback)
Stage Door is a nice little play with lots of great comic moments and interseting characters. The main plot of the play deals with Terry Randal, a hardworking young actress trying to make it on 1930's Broadway. This storyline is not too engrossing, and the wooden character of Terry tends to get on one's nerves awfully fast. The redeeming parts of Stage Door, however, are the side plots which feature witty Judith Canfield, zany Bernice, tragic Kaye Hamilton and numerous other supporting characters. Stage Door is certaintly worth a read.

Stage Door,
By Susan (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stage Door. (Paperback)
I was in a production of Stage Door and it's one of my favourite plays that I have been in. It's great because it's funny, tragic, and speaks to an actor on a personal level. It's also great because it is a play with so many great female roles. It's usually hard to find a good play where the female roles out number the male roles so it's great that this play does. I definately recommend it to someone to read and for someone to put on a performance of, especially if they have a shortage of male actors but an ambundance of female actors. If you like this play you might also want to check out the film version starring Katherine Hepburn, Ginger Rogers and Lucille Ball.

Didn't Like It. Movie Is Better.,

This review is from: Stage Door. (Paperback)
Just finished the play Stage Door. I have been on a goal to read a lot of the plays and novels that where turned into Katharine Hepburn films. I was disappointed with this one. There is very little about this play that was in the movie. It is practically a different story altogether. I love the film, in fact it is one of my top favorite Hepburn films and I was so hoping that most of the dialog would have been taken out of the play. If you are like me and was hoping to find something close to the movie, don't read this.
With all that said, it is a story of a bunch of actresses who live together in a boarding house trying to make it big on the stage. The main character, Terry Randell, stays true to the stage despite friends of hers going off to Hollywood to get into pictures and despite many offers for her to go into pictures. Her patience is finally rewarded when she lands the lead in her dream role. It is a play about not selling out to Hollywood. In my personal opinion the movie is much better.
